Love Ritual (Traces - 07/2023)


Love ritual is transition from one way of being to another.

It is a celebration and healing ritual, it is a symbolic experience for survival, and finally it is the loving process of reconciliation with oneself.

Poems in the video


Heartbreak

When it is absence

the hug

and the lost look,

entrails in shadows

they tinge grief.

When the complaint resonates

in the night echo,

and the morning warns

a deafening silence.

Heartbreak,

When oblivion is blood

and the presence of ghosts,

I fray...

and I don't find myself



Love ritual

When the day reveals

the hidden shadows,

and the fire shelters

to the beating heart.

When the flowers

whisper their secrets,

and the birds

encourage you to fly.

Love,

When the tread is footprint

and the skin territory,

my presence

hug my body.

And there I am...

simply being.
